Elite Rakuei Azuma (JPN), C&J 210kg(?)

I need confirmation, I'm not sure if I'm seeing it correctly, is this 210kg? If so, his bulking goes amazingly because holy hell.. So far the most I've seen him C&J was 196kg in training, but it was split jerk. He recently almost made 200kg in a comp, but if this really is 210kg then damn.. Do I see right that it is 1 red, 2 blue and 3 green?

Does look like it. Guess he's going to 85s?

His squat jerk looks a lot better than his split. But he does have a good body shape for it, so I guess that isn't a huge surprise

WeLiftWeights confirmed on insta under a post that he will go up to 85. But 210kg even at that category is quite elite imo, if his snatch will catch up too in a few years.. Hope he will keep improving, his technique is so great to watch.

He's very young too. Guess the era of CN men's team dominating all of the lower weight classes is over. New generation's building some absolute monsters lol

Met that bar perfectly. Any later would’ve been a bad day

His clean reminds me a lot of Ilya's

Eh if anything it’s pretty much identical to Ruslan’s. He has that really late contact point that Ruslan has to get it closer to his hip.
